Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Tong Jingxian, you know very well what you’ve done. I wasn’t around in the past, but now that I’m back, I won’t let you get away with how you are treating Jiang Wei!” Su Zhi’en’s voice was filled with a ruthless tone.

Tong Jingxian stood in front of Su Zhi’en and looked into her bloodshot eyes. Su Zhi’en was overflowing with murderous intent, and Tong Jingxian could not help but shudder. Tong Jingxian thought that Su Zhi’en shouldn’t be left alive.

“Seal the window. You should have heard Director Jiang’s orders. It doesn’t matter if this woman dies. So pay close attention to her! Do not let her escape.” Tong Jingxian ordered the bodyguards in exasperation.

Su Zhi’en couldn’t be bothered to look at Tong Jingxian any longer. She proceeded to wave at Jiang Wei with all her might. “Jiang Wei, come over and let me take a look at your hands.”

Jiang Wei was a little confused. He didn’t understand why Su Zhi’en was so eager to take a look at his hands. ‘Did Aunt Jingxian do something wrong? I’ve always been treated this way, and no one has ever said anything about it.’

Jiang Wei didn’t like to interact with others, so naturally, he didn’t communicate properly. In his eyes, how Tong Jingxian treated him was normal.

“Jiang Wei, come here quickly. Let me take a look at your hands,” Su Zhi’en begged. She tried her best to convince the bodyguards to let Jiang Wei come over with tears in her eyes. She wanted to see how her son was doing.

Su Zhi’en had carried Jiang Wei in her womb for ten months. As a mother, Su Zhi’en had abandoned Jiang Wei at birth. She felt that she had let Jiang Wei down, so how could she idly watch her son get abused? Su Zhi’en’s voice was hoarse as she said, “Jiang Wei, come over. Mommy— Aunt Zhi’en is begging you, okay?”

Jiang Wei gazed at the window blankly while Su Zhi’en was crying and begging in desperation. At last, he couldn’t help but go over. Although he was not good at communicating with others, he could still sense the love and care of Su Zhi’en. Jiang Wei had never experienced such strong affections before.

Jiang Wei finally began to walk over. However, Tong Jingxian would not let the boy interact with Su Zhi’en. Tong Jingxian immediately picked Jiang Wei up and fiercely demanded, “Seal the window immediately. Otherwise, you’re all fired!” She then carried Jiang Wei away.

This made Su Zhi’en almost pass out from anger. ‘Jiang Chen, how could you be so blind? Why would you fall for such a woman? Or is it because Jiang Wei doesn’t belong to that woman that you love so much? Do you not care about your own son?’ 

As the bodyguards sealed the window, Su Zhi’en collapsed onto the ground. Su Zhi’en fainted because she hadn’t eaten for a day. Besides, she wanted to see Jiang Chen. 

‘Why would she go on a hunger strike just to see me? Is it because of the incident that took place yesterday? Does she still think that Tong Jingxian mistreated Jiang Wei?’ Jiang Chen, who had just rested, heard the news and frowned.

Ming Ze was nervous. Tong Jingxian had told Ming Ze that she was stopping Jiang Wei from playing outside, so she forcefully carried Jiang Wei back indoors. However, Tong Jingxian was rough with Jiang Wei, but Ming Ze ignored her actions.

Ming Ze didn’t expect Su Zhi’en to go on a hunger strike because of this. At this moment, Ming Ze didn’t know how he would react to Jiang Chen’s words. Suddenly, one of the bodyguards came in from the outside. “Director Jiang, there’s been an incident. It seems that the woman committed suicide!”

“What?!” Jiang Chen, who was rubbing his eyebrows, stopped immediately. Cold sweat began dripping down his forehead. ‘Suicide? It would seem that Su Zhi’en is really crafty. She even pretended to hurt herself to this extent.’ Jiang Chen then rushed over with a livid expression on his face.

When Jiang Chen arrived at the locked cabin, he thought that Su Zhi’en would ambush and attack him. After all, he only thought that Su Zhi’en was trying to trick him. But Jiang Chen did not expect to see Su Zhi’en lying in a puddle of blood. Su Zhi’en’s eyes were dull, like a wilting flower.

“Su Zhi’en, what the hell did you do?!” Jiang Chen was genuinely shocked. He felt as though his head was about to explode. He rushed over and grabbed Su Zhi’en’s bleeding wrist. ‘She really did slit her wrist!’

“What are you standing around for? Hurry up and get the first aid kit!”

“Yes, Director Jiang, right away!”

“Jiang Chen, you’re finally here. I should be glad, right? It would seem that you still have some sense of humanity left in you. You rushed over knowing that I’m going to die.” 

Su Zhi’en tried to look at Jiang Chen with much effort. She had held on for more than ten hours, and her eyes were already swollen from crying.

The veins on Jiang Chen’s forehead began to throb. “Are you f*cking delusional?! Do you really think I’m afraid of you dying? Do you think I would still care about you if it wasn’t for the fact that I already told Old Master Jiang that you are still alive?!”

“Is that so?” Su Zhi’en’s ashen lips curled into a mocking smile. Indeed, if it wasn’t for Old Master Jiang, why would Jiang Chen care whether or not Su Zhi’en lived? After all, Jiang Chen had clearly told Su Zhi’en that he didn’t care if she lived or not.

Su Zhi’en slowly closed her eyes and stopped looking at Jiang Chen. “If that’s the case, can you return Jiang Wei to me?”

“What did you say?”
